7 Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Generalization
Effective
Technological
Applied
Conceptual Systems
Analytic
Behavioral
Generalization
Occurrence of relevant behavior under different, non-training conditions without the
scheduling of the same events in those conditions as had been scheduled in the training
conditions
Effective
Applied interventions produce strong, socially important effects
Technological
Described well enough that they can be implemented by anyone with training and
resources
Applied
Deals with problems of demonstrated social importance
Conceptual Systems
Strive for relevance to principles so that the technology turns into a discipline rather
than just "collection of tricks"
Analytic
Demonstrates convincingly how to make specified behavior changes and when its
behavior-change methods make systematic, conceptual sense
Behavioral
Deals with observable and measurable behavior
Characteristics of a Good Measurement System
Objectivity
Reliability
,Validity
Sensitivity
Objectivity
Definitions are observable, unambiguous
Reliability
Instrument produces consistent (repeatable) results
Validity
Instrument indicates accurate representation of results
Sensitivity
Instrument reflects changes in behavior
Verbal Behavior
Behavior whose reinforcement is mediated by a listener; includes both vocal-verbal
behavior and nonvocal-verbal behavior. Encompasses the subject matter usually
treated as language and topics such as thinking, grammar, composition, and
understanding
Echoic
An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal
discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with
the response
Intraverbal
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus and that
does NOT have point-to-point correspondence with that verbal stimulus
Mand
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific
reinforcement
Tact
An elementary verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and
followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement
Single-Subject Designs
A wide variety of research designs that use a form of experimental reasoning called
baseline logic to demonstrate the effects of the independent variable on the behavior of
individual subjects; also called single-case, within-subject, and intra-subject designs
Alternating Treatments Design
An experimental design in which two or more conditions are presented in rapidly
alternating succession independent of the level of responding; differences in responding
between or among conditions are attributed to the effects of the conditions
Changing Criterion Design
An experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by a series of
treatment phases consisting of successive and gradually changing criteria for
reinforcement or punishment. Experimental control is evidenced by the extent the level
of responding changes to conform to each new criterion
Multiple Baseline Design
An experimental design that begins with the concurrent measurement of two or more
behaviors in a baseline condition, followed by the application of the treatment variable to
, one of the behaviors while baseline conditions remain in effect for the other behavior(s).
After maximum change has been noted in the first behavior, the treatment variable is
applied in sequential fashion to each of the other behaviors in the design. Experimental
control is demonstrated if each behavior shows similar changes when, and only when,
the treatment variable is introduced
Reversal Design
Any experimental design in which the researcher attempts to verify the effect of the
independent variable by "reversing" responding to a level obtained in a previous
condition; encompasses experimental designs in which the independent variable is
withdrawn or reversed in its focus
Operational Definition
Defines a behavior in terms that are precise so the behavior is measurable and an
occurrence can be agreed upon by two or more observers; in general, the more detailed
the operational definition, the better
Characteristics of Good Definitions
Objective
Clear
Complete
Objectivity
Describes observable characteristics of behavior and is free of inferential terms
Clarity
Unambiguous
Completeness
Sets boundaries of instances/noninstances
Purpose of Good Definitions
Precise and concise description
Reliable observation
Accurate recording
Agreement and replication
Direct Measurement System
Direct observation of the behavior or its products
Direct Measurement
Occurs when the behavior that is measured is the same as the behavior that is the
focus of the investigation
Indirect Measurement System
Rating scales
Questionnaires
Self-reports
Indirect Measurement
